Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hello Friends,

Me and my wife have been thinking of having a baby. We discoverd that she has a relatively large intramural uterine fibrod (11cmsX11.5cms).

The doctor we are consulting is of the opinon to remove the fibroid by operation. However, the chances of my wife loosing the uterus are high - given the size of the fibroid. The doctor will be able to tell definitely, whether she will be able to save the uterus or not,only, when she starts the operation.

We are looking for some advice from couples who have been in this situation or know of couples who have been in this situation.

We do not want to make any hasty decisions and repent later.

The doctor also states, it is risky to try and get pregnant as the pregnancy will get complicated (if at all we conceive).

ANy doctors in the US / India we can consult, who have hands on experience with these kind of cases?

Any advise will be highly appreciated ... we dont know - whom to approach.

Thanks... Anonymous replied. Last year we had posted our case & wanted help if someone know doctor who specialised in treating fibroids. Finally we an answer - we got a highly qualified doctor and hospital which specialises in this field

Hospital : Brigham and Womens Hospital
Location : Boston, Ma
Name of Doctor : Dr Serene S Srouji

Doctor performed a Robotic Mymetocomy and removed the fibroid without hurting utereus. I am doing excellent and firboid is completely gone.

So people who need to treat their fibroid I would highly recommend to consult this doctor. She was so good that we don' t have words to thank her. Very professional, gentle and so thorough with her subject. She and her whole team rocks! She is like an angel to us.

Hope this information help. Please post your experiences it helps alot. Anonymous replied. I have been on lupron for last 3 months & size of the fibroid has not reduced. My gynaec is suggesting mymetocomy & she had indicated there might be a chance of me loosing the uterus. Is it possible to remove only part of fibroid(half of it)Please advise
